another parsing problem...

I'm trying to display that type, name and value to class properties.
Yes, I know about print_r().

I'm just trying to build a display format for this information. AFAIK,
the standard PHP tools to look into classes do not give you PRIVATE
and PROTECTED properties (nor methods), but the print_r() does! (At
least for properties it does.)

This this display below...

// [this is a stored in a string variable]
Vegetable Object
(
[edible:private] => spinach
[color:protected] => green
[size] => 1
)

Now, I'd like to parse this string (above) into 3 arrays:
1) Public
2) Private
3) Protected

Each having a list of variables names with their values, as so...

array
(
[private] => ([edible] => spinach),
[protected] => ([color] => green),
[public] => ([size] => 1)
}

Any ideas?

thanks

walter

PS: Any one know how to get the list of PRIVATE and PROTECTED methods
from a class? Without parsing the actual file?

Are you per chance looking for Reflection?

Nevermind, you can't get the private/protected variable values with it,
only their existance/properties.

Why yes! I am! But...

he he.

Yes, reflection doesn't quite do what I want, thus my tack on using
'print_r()' and parsing the resulting string.

Next! ;)

No, that's the whole purpose of PRIVATE and PROTECTED members. If you
want to list them, you need the code as a class member.

Hiya...

I'm in the middle of learning OO programming, and probably not the
person to offer solutions, but perhaps I can use this moment to ask if
the following is a solution to his PS? And if it's not, perhaps someone
can explain to me why?

Let's say his class name is 'Veggie'

**

$prod_class = new ReflectionClass( 'Veggie' );
$methods = $prod_class->getMethods();

foreach($methods as $method) {
echo methodData($method);
}

function methodData(ReflectionMethod $method) {
$details = "";
$name = $method->getName();

if($method->isPrivate()) {
$details .= "$name is private
";
}
if($method->isProtected()) {
$details .= "$name is protected
";
}
if($method->isPublic()) {
$details .= "$name is public
";
}

return $details;

}

That gives the names, etc. of methods. But not the values of the class
variables - which is what he wants.

It is no solution to his problem because he wants the display the _value_
of a private/protected variable. That's simply not possible with PHP
Reflection.

Well, you shouldn't want it :P
If you do however use print_r, it's a simple matter of parsing the outpu=
t. =

Maybe applying strtok() could simplify processing/provide some shortcuts=
=

though.

Or build your own PHP: in it is=
=

referenced where Reflection is blocked from displaying it, see: =

1=3D1.185&r2=3D1.186>. =

So just alter the php_reflection.c file to your needs :P.

Right, but I interpreted his "PS" as a different request, one that simply
was a list of private and protected methods, with no mention of values.

What a beautiful piece of work.

I read and re-read the reflection dox and just didn't grok it.

1 down, 1 to go.

Thx a lot!

Right, thus my query on parsing the return string form 'print_r()'

LOL, yes, well, I'm told that alot, about a lot of things! But it
doesn't stop me from asking.

That's what I'm thinking, but I don't see a simple solution to parse
that string

mmm, I'll look that up.

that doesn't help with the "generic" variable display tool I'm
expanding on, but thanks!

$c = print_r($object, true);

Then work over $c.
